That's not what he was saying. He was saying this is why he didn't contact anyone, his phone died and he didn't bother to recharge it because he wanted to be left alone. The most you could do, and I know you struggle with this, is actually understand his point.

No, YOU need to understand the reality. He was AWOL for days, and nobody had a clue where he was.

You all guys know that Monday is a day off for all of the players, right? He should have gone to take the MRI, but he decided not to... it was a day off.

What argument? You guys continue to think Dez is trying to get out of this, he's not. He's being completely honest. He is straight up saying, and it's pretty clear, he didn't want to talk to anyone.

Where is the excuses he's making? From the start, he's been upfront as to why he didn't show up. And what your boss "buys" is irrelevant. You don't play in the NFL.

This issue is not the excuse, the issue is the action.

Not for injured players.

I am not sure in what world a employer not being able to find their employee for almost three days is not a problem.

In the world of the NFL, not your McDonald's job.

That's not an issue as well. But you can continue to think the team cares about this as much as you.

Stop it already. The dog ate the playbook is next.

I will ignore the insult, but I don't know of too many jobs where that would not be a issue, but if you are hiring maybe I can work for you, it would be great because I would not have to show up.

He was fined!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have none of you ever left your phone off because you didn't want to be bothered?

Yup we showed him.

And what would you have done? That's how it is around the NFL.

Once again, stop comparing your lowly, unknown job to the NFL. It's a false equivalence and irrelevant.

Zeke: "Dak, where's Dez?"
Prescott: "I don't know. Hey, Tony, where's Dez?"
Romo: "No idea. Jason, where's Dez? What did the MRI say?"
Garrett: "I don't know, I was going to ask you if you'd seen him. I don't think he had the MRI yet."
Romo: "It's Wednesday, has anybody talked to him? Hey, Orlando, you heard from Dez?"
Scandrick: "He still ain't here. Where is he?"

That's not the kind of chatter you want during preparation before a road game.

Then whats your problem with Dez actions?! Just stop making a huge deal, it´s over with...

What do you need to happen in order for you to be happy? Cut him?

LOL, keep trying. It's a horrible message to other players that the rules only apply to them.

So... let me get this clear. If ANY player other than Dez Bryant misses a meeting or doesn´t attend MRI they will get fined by the organization.
Dez Bryant misses a meeting and misses the MRI and he gets fine.

Could you please tell the how "the rules only apply to them"?
